God’s Gift

 Nehemiah 9-10; Acts 2 

“…’Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’ The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off – for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

Acts 2:38, 39

The gift of the Holy Spirit is for those who have repented of their sin and now consecrate their lives to God. The person of the Holy Spirit releases prophetic anointing in our lives which transforms everything we do. “…I will pour out my Spirit in those days and they will prophesy.” (Acts 2:18) When we are led by the Holy Spirit, witnessing bears fruit, preaching bears fruit, service bears fruit, and discipleship bears fruit that remains. The Lord is not limited by age or distance but is calling us from every generation and every people group around the world to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit that is the key to multiplication. God’s first command was that we “be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28). This command and promise are now being restored to God’s people through the gift of the Holy Spirit, to the glory of God.

Have we received the gift of the Holy Spirit?

“Lord Jesus, thank you for sending your Spirit, for your glory.”
